lol bless, you really need to get fluids in u honey x

Your probably gonna find this impossible but try to get as near to 2 litres as you can!! I still find it hard to drink loads and if im busy at work and forget i get a raging headache when i get home, dehydration makes you feel like crap. Your menu sounds about right for 9 days out though.

yeah dont glug, just keep a bottle near you all the time and sip sip sip. Also try sucking sugar free ice lollies, good luck sweet xxx

NAS crusha added to milk, milky coffee. These will add protein as well as fluids. Otherwise you are doing fine.

Sammy you really need to up your fluids... sip little and often..it is hard the first few weeks... but definately gets a lot easier.
Everyone has heard this from me before but i am gonna mention it... i got dehydration 2 weeks post op... i was really poorly...this resulted in me having a hospital stay in the hospital i had my op... which is not local to me.. and it caused a very horrible bladder infection... i was poorly for 3 weeks and i had to have 5 different types of antibiotic... im sorry if im going on i dont mean to nag.. but i was told that this was a complication of the op if you dont drink enough.... you need to have at least 1 litre a day but try and aim for 2 litres xx

Cut the oxos they are full of salt and will dehydrate you,up fluids as suggested and perhaps eat more.

 

[fizzwoods]

Instead of oxo, have a 'hot pop' NAS juice made with hot water also, like someone else has said, sugar free lollies or ice pops. You really need to have more fluids hun.xxx

 

[Ruthiep]

Maybe add some marvel or milk to your soups to up the protein too. I second the advice about fluids. Check the colour of your wee; if it's dark, you're dehydrated.

 

[angiemason]

you really must drink and if you don't mind me asking why is it 1pm before you eat anything ? even a fat free yoghurt or half of one will help protein but drink drink drink and then drink again xx take care

I did reply to your post on the other thread hun


Sounds like you're not having any food until 1pm? That's too late. I'd have some Greek yoghurt chewed really well for breakfast or milk you could even have a slim-fast or protein shake.

Other than that it looks OK as long as the veg in the soups is mashed to liquid rather than lumpy. Milk is your friend as you seem to be getting it down OK and it's a good source of protein too

what can i put into my soup instead of oxo then i looked at other stock cubes and there higher in salt thats why i did oxo cant belive i was doing it wrong

 

[Karlos]

One Oxo a day is not going to harm you honey worry not, especially if you don't add further salt to the soup. The liquid stage is only a couple of weeks and trust me as long as you are properly hydrated it's really difficult to do it wrong during this short time.

Don't stress, the very fact that you are so keen to get it right tells me you're going to be just fine at this lark, and there are lots of people who can help with food choices when you get back to the eating with your teeth bit

i put 4 oxo cubes into a big big stew pot with all my veg and boil it up the soup last me 3 days and i give loads to the old people down my street too so dont think im having that much of them really

 

[angiemason]

that must be some big stew pot if it feeds the street well done
